A'n irorr plate, A, is inserted between the luy and fold ofthe body oi' the collar, and bears three loops B, B', and C, whereof B and B are inserted in the upper part of the plete A, at 'equal distonces from the centre line z x, and are directed outwards to left and right respectively. The third loop C directed downwards is inserted in the middle ofthe lower port ofthe plete A, The plate A is securedin place in the collar Y by the bolts or screws pp, one at the buse of each upper loop, and nlso the bolt or scrennq, (whose thread'is seen in fig. 3 et 8,) which secures to the collar Y the ring or link R, to which the chain or strap of `the pole is attached.
